Hot Tips

The full picture

It pays to give the full picture of events leading up to the fault occuring as well as unusual hapenings in your home, even if it may not seem to be a factor.

Take the following real case scenario for example:

I was called out to a house where lots of building and plumbing work was going on.

The call out fault was explained on the phone as: "The washing machine will only take in water on a rinse cycle" ( no mention of any plumbing work being done to the house). Can you see the connection? they did'nt!

As soon as I saw the extent of the plumbing being done, the connection was made.

Some clever plumber had diverted the hot water supply away from the machine!

If the plumbing was mentioned, technical advice could have been given thereby avoiding the expense of an engineer.

Remember, always give a good account, don't hold anything back!
